Like a mighty viking sailing on a magical gust of wind, Pherigo landed his sturdy vessel, (the one his Grandmother loaned him), on the yard of a legendary yet normal haunted mansion from days of yore. Appearing as quickly as he left, Pherigo plowed and plunged his mighty boots through the dry Texas dirt. The circus crew was stunned as they sipped beverages made from fire and puffed green cigars on the crooked although stable front porch. I thought to my self, “Didn’t Pherigo leave yesterday? How can he be back so soon?” Pherigo is a man whose presence is fierce and strong. He towers above me and most of the circus performers. The Tall Man and Gertrude are the only ones who seem to look down at him. While sailing and floating on highways made of salt water, Pherigo grew a monstrous entanglement of facial whiskers that encompassed his face similarly to a masquerade disguise. I must admit, I hardly recognized him through the giant beard! The circus welcomed him with warm hugs and hand shakes. He is like family. His welcome-back party consisted of brisket on the smoker cooked just Wright… right I mean. Rather than fire works, we exploded cans of green beans and such. It’s Pherigo’s style to arrive with a big boom, boisterous laughter and detailed yarns from his travels. His former role in the circus was a samurai’s intern. But, Pherigo and I shared many stories and beers only to arrive at the conclusion that he must now be the Strong Man. He has the stature and the muscles to impress a crowd. The crazy beard will be an extra anomaly to add to the Strong Man’s feats. We also decided that he would wear a pin stripe suite while wowing audiences with his manly muscles. Welcome back Pherigo! May your arrival and stay with the circus be bright and strong! Love, your friend, Mavis Rose Sinclair
